The Faith of Demons Part 4

Proposition:

The demons have a much more convincing belief in God than many in the church today have, because demons have a very real belief in God, knowing, that they are under His judgment for their rebellion against Him, and it horrifies them

First, those who cite as the only evidence for their salvation their belief in one God have no more evidence for their salvation than the demons do

Second, those who cite as the only evidence for their salvation their belief in one God have less biblical knowledge than demons do

Where do we see Satan’s and the demons’ superior knowledge?

#1: The superior knowledge of Satan and the demons can be seen in Satan’s temptation in the garden

#2: The superior knowledge of Satan and the demons can be seen in Satan’s temptation of Christ
